Values First
Our approach to talent acquisition is always values first. So, the values this firm holds dear include:
- Continuous improvement in yourself, your work and in others around you. You will be encouraged to take part in both internal external training sessions and to share your learnings with your colleagues.
- Peer mentoring is deeply engrained in this firm, with a formal policy to back it. You will be paired with a colleague who will support you in your career growth journey.
- Support for everyone, including working parents. The firm has a very progressive paid parental leave benefit that has no qualifying period and return to work bonuses.
- Work-life balance is encouraged in this firm. Working from home is supported following a probation period and there’s no expectation of you working unreasonable hours – so go home and spend time with your family and friends.
- Recognition is important to this firm and is demonstrated in so many ways including monthly or quarterly bonuses, birthday leave, promotion ceremonies and annual staff awards where everyone gets on board.
Although each day is never the same, the below are a few typical tasks you will be handling:
- Scheduling and coordinating appointments, meetings, and events, ensuring that all members are informed and prepared in advance.
- Preparing legal correspondence including creating, editing, and formatting documents in line with the firm’s style guide.
- Acting as a first point of contact for clients which includes managing incoming calls, answering questions, and recording accurate messages.
- File management and maintenance which would include opening new and archiving old files (both electronic and physical).
- Monitoring and maintaining office supplies, ensuring that necessary items are stocked and ordered as needed.
- Assisting the team with accurate monthly billing and time recording, as well as other general administrative tasks.
